<p>No. You were told to ban this 5 year old account, with a karma above 60,000 because it criticized Peter Thiel.<p>It is easy to see here: 
<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=belter">https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=belter</a><p>the submission track of the account, to see you are being untruthful.<p>The same way you are untruthful, about not disclosing to the community the silently throttling back many of many accounts, not allowing them to post or even reply to comments in a middle of what you decided is acceptable discourse. All the while, at the same time you have here:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders">https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders</a><p>Accounts associated with VCs, that do 10 to 20 submissions a day.<p>You also have been allowing accounts that systematically down vote tech related posts or comments, who  are not sympathetic to the current administration. Is that also engaging in political discourse?<p>And worst you are untruthful, to the community, in not disclosing the main page is manually curated. You actually move posts post with 400 comments within minutes to the 20th or 40th page, if they are somewhat uncomfortable. While pushing to the main page every single submission from OpenAI or Anthropic even if they have 2-3 comments.<p>Compared to a few years ago, you let the HN main page,   transform itself into 90% submissions on Agentic AI. It might serve the 600 billion critical investment of your pay masters, but transformed something where a few years ago, you had posts from Philosophy, Physics, Math, Literature, etc... to nothing more than a  marketing poster to the AI VC bros.<p>Understand that the vast majority outside Silicon Valley,  does NOT care about AI, GenAI , AI code generators. They are Hackers...not VCs</p>

<p>You are getting closer to realizing that becoming a billionaire demands a  psychological detachment most people would find disturbing...<p>It is not always brilliance that drives the relentless accumulation of wealth, but a deep, unresolved hole...an inner void shaped by trauma, by the need for validation never received from a parent, a world, or a past self.<p>That constant dissatisfaction fuels an endless pursuit of wealth they imagine will finally provide meaning or peace, yet never does. The accumulation becomes the self justification. The proof of worth in a game that can never truly be won. And from that height grows the contempt... Not for ignorance, but for poverty itself. Not because the poor are seen as incapable, but because they serve as a reminder of everything these individuals fear becoming.</p>

<p>You should look at Israel deal for the F-35. They got the only F-35 unlocked and non dependent on the US software lock. They were never part of the development program like Norway, Denmark, Italy or the Netherlands so did not have to bear those costs. Norway, Denmark, Italy or the Netherlands, still had to pay for their F-35...<p>Israel paid 2.3 Billion for their F-35, but the US committed to buy 4 Billion from Israel defense firms, so concluding with a net positive of +1.25 Billion for Israel economy....all at the cost to the US tax payer. :-)<p>"F-35I Adir: Israel’s Custom F-35 That No Other Nation Has" - <a href="https://www.19fortyfive.com/2025/04/f-35i-adir-israels-custom-f-35-that-no-other-nation-has/" rel="nofollow">https://www.19fortyfive.com/2025/04/f-35i-adir-israels-custo...</a><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning_II_Israeli_procurement" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_Martin_F-35_Lightning...</a></p>

<p>Attention ...Law firms and funders :-) this is exactly the kind of cross border data transfer case where billions in penalties and settlements, and major fees  are realistically on the table. :-)<p>Clearly they did not transfer only US users but for sure EU users data. I guess HN here too? This would  violate GDPR especially Art. 48. Companies can have fines up to 4% global revenue and mass collective damages claims in EU courts. Best fill in the Netherlands and or Ireland.<p>Coordinate with EU GDPR actions  and U.S. discovery rules, that are the strongest in the world. Get the internal emails...Millions to be earned...<p>For US users you are out of luck. The US is the country of loopholes, and although these subpoenas were not from a judge, several agencies can issue them, under multiple jurisdiction laws.</p>
